RCB Women clinch second WPL title after last-over drama against Delhi Capitals
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women lifted their second Women’s Premier League title after a tense six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals Women in the final. Chasing a challenging target of 204, RCB sealed victory with two balls to spare amid high drama in the last over.
Radha Yadav’s decisive boundary sparked confusion when a bail was dislodged, prompting brief deliberation by the umpires. Once confirmed, celebrations erupted as RCB crossed the line.
Earlier, Smriti Mandhana played a captain’s knock, smashing a commanding 87 of 41 balls that kept RCB in control for most of the chase. Delhi found late hope when Chinelle Henry bowled Mandhana in the death overs, but crucial runs from Radha Yadav and Nadine de Klerk ensured RCB held their nerve to finish champions once again.

West Bengal: EC orders suspension of joint BDO ahead of polls
Kolkata (PTI): The Election Commission on Friday ordered the immediate suspension of a joint block development officer (BDO) in poll-bound West Bengal and directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against her.
The poll body, however, did not mention the grounds for the action.
In a letter to the chief secretary of West Bengal, the poll panel said the action against Jyotsna Khatun, the joint BDO of Purba Bardhaman district's Khandaghosh, is based on a recommendation from the chief electoral officer of the state.
"The commission has agreed to the proposal and directs that Jyotsna Khatun be suspended and disciplinary action be initiated against her immediately," the EC stated in its letter to the West Bengal chief secretary.
Khatun had been notified as the Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) for the 259-Khandaghosh Assembly Constituency.
The poll panel has asked authorities to implement the order "with immediate effect" and submit a compliance report by 11 am of Saturday.
The letter also instructed the authorities to urgently propose a replacement for the vacant post.
